See also the petition of the Rev. Timothy Walker, Report No. 06_1753_00 (APC, v.4 [202] p.197), requesting that an appeal to the Privy Council be allowed though the value of the land in question is less than the required minimum since the lands of many others, collectively meeting the minimum, depend upon the outcome.

The appellant’s printed case at the Massachusetts Historical Society is found in a folder entitled ‘Briefs respecting the Controversy between Massachusetts and New Hampshire’. The folder also includes the respondents’ case in Rolfe v Proprietors of Bow, documents from the earlier royal commission to settle the boundary, and related maps. The maps at the British Library and in the Massachusetts Historical Society have not been compared.
